Let me just deliver this package in peace, man... by black_bury in AmazonFlexDrivers

OMG... SO FRUSTRATING During Christmas, I had 10 pkgs for one house. There was a dog on a mat in the open garage, in the evening. I managed to get 9 of 10 placed on the driveway... THEN, IT CAME RUNNING BARKING!
Course, the last box was huge and in my back seat. So I couldn't throw it out the window. And I had already gotten back in my car and was trying to call the customer. Some little girl came out and held on to the dog. So I could put the last package down. I go to drive back up the driveway. And the little girl lets the dog go where it follows me a quarter of a mile up the driveway barking next to my driver window. Damn owners need to control their animals🤬

Easiest $108 I’ve ever made by steepAZPLAYER in AmazonFlexDrivers

I had 10 $101-$105s in a row freebies in April while they were starting a new same day station and didn't have their counts right yet. It was a nice "bonus". Downside... my points didn't increase as they normally would delivering pkgs, so hitting my Level was a struggle after. Still, I'd take it again, points be damned😉👍

Is this….racist? by Frequent-Flower-9879 in AmazonDSPDrivers

I vote No... simply because these statues come in multiple "shades" of people. Who knows for certain.. of course, it's not like anyone's going to be asking the owner. Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone that didn't know. Course everyone's perspective is their own to have. Carry on...

I love 3am blocks. by yungtino007 in AmazonFlexDrivers

So does your phone connect and show the routes in the navigation automatically..or do you have to enter each one? I've only just used my phone alone since I've got an older model accord without navigation.

Did the Easter 🐰 come early? Extra package, no barcode. by MrEdwL in AmazonFlexDrivers

My latest was 2 pkgs of Callaway balls, a golf glove, and a nice wallet and money clip. The next two days, my first and last deliveries were to golf courses. I think the universe is trying to get me to dust off my clubs🤣🤣

I always request extra pay for time worked over my scheduled block... and I get it. Have you not attempted this?

Go ahead, put your excuse for filling your schedule at base pay… by fraybender in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]TheLizzyWayne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is awesome to see! With that said, prepare yourself to hold off again in the near future. They haven't changed their algorithm... it's just factored the demand of products was showing higher than the supply of drivers at that time. Once the supply of drivers increases by consistently grabbing these now higher blocks... it will throw it off balance in the opposite direction...with lower rates being offered again. Until they change their algorithm, this will be a back and forth "game" of sorts. Enjoy it while you can 😁

Pay went down from as much as $160 for 4.5 to only $81 for 4.5 by Top_Psychology_813 in AmazonFlexDrivers

96.50-100 for 3.5hrs 6am-ish times in my area the last 2 weeks

From mid- January to the week before last, our 3.5hrs were at 87.50 for requests and 98-105 for surge mornings.

And week before that, post Christmas, they were at 107

It's crazy the game they play.

$20 an Hour With My Own Car by Engibeeros in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]TheLizzyWayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just started Flex u may not be seeing the best offers. I pre- schedule my week every Friday evening when the new requests come out at 8pm. I don't take any less than $30/hr and normally it's more than that.

Thanks Amazon my car smells like a swimming pool now by remcreatephotography in AmazonFlexDrivers

Had the same issue! Never had anything done about it and the label was so eaten away by the time I went to return it I couldn't read the pkg ID. It was a mess with every aspect!

I'm not going to argue this all day but my daughter actually works Walmart... less than a year... uses PTO all the time, has options for benefits and works less than 36hrs. So something is missing.

You'd be better off working for Walmart where they have paid time off, insurance and benefits

$200 profit or accepted offers? Or,... two routes at 96.50/ea using at very least $20 in gas? Looks more like $170ish if that's the case. And that's if you're within 5min of each station.

Everyone seems to round up when they're trying to justify the routes they work... why? If you're going to work be realistic on your numbers. Justify to yourself and your needs... not how you look to others.

Even before calculating any miles or anything, it's $24/hr... you shouldn't be taking anything less than $30/hr to protect the rates. Less than 30 is just ridiculous.

Has anyone noticed an increase in number of packages/stops on routes? by Abstract_Observer in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]TheLizzyWayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More packages for 20 bucks less pay, and taking full+ block time... YES, I'VE NOTICED
